BEAUTY AND THE BEAST – Final Trailer #BeautyandtheBeast #BeOurGuest

By Leave a Comment

Disney’s Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite movies. When I was younger I remember going to see the Broadway show with my younger sister. I still can hear myself humming the words to a tune every once in awhile and make me smile at the memory.

The film is finally being brought to life in movie theatre’s on March 17th. The film just celebrated its 25th anniversary. I can’t believe it.

Check out the final trailer below:

Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” is a live-action re-telling of the studio’s animated classic. It is the journey of Belle, a bright and independent young woman who is taken prisoner by a beast in his castle. She befriends the castle’s staff and learns to look beyond the Beast’s hideous exterior and realize the kind of person he truly is. With a kind heart and soul.

The film stars Emma Watson as Belle; Dan Stevens as the Beast and so much more. I can’t wait for the release of this film on March 17th.

Disclosure: I was a guest poster on Houston-Neighborhoods.com today check out my blog post about Hilshire Village neighborhood of Houston’s Memorial Villages

Hilshire Village is a city in Harris County, Texas. It is the smallest of the Memorial Villages in terms of area.

In the 1940’s Frank Bruess and his mother left Missouri, entered Texas and purchased 30 acres of land in his state. Bruess read about a country estate in Hillshire, England and fell in love with the name and decided to call his development Hilshire Village, dropping off the extra l. On April 15, 1955, Hillshire Village was officially incorporated.

The area is surrounding by beautiful homes and in the past few years newer homes have gone up. The majority of households are married couples with children under the age of 18. The area has a lot of great parks for families to enjoy time outside. There is also large population of those 65 and older who live alone.

Hilshire Village is located in District 136 of the Texas House of Representatives It is in the 7th congressional district.

If you are looking for great schools, you can look know further than Hilshire Village, which is served by Spring Branch Independent School District. Hilshire Village is zoned to Bear Boulevard School  in Spring Valley Village. Valley Oaks Elementary School in Spring Branch Houston, Spring Branch Middle School in Hedwig Village and Memorial High School in Hedwig, Village. These are all great schools and have a great attendance record.

If you are looking for a private school they have School of the Woods which is located in Hilshire Village and one of the two campuses of the Monarch School in Houston area. The city is served by the Houston Community College System.

The area newspaper is the Houston Chronicle.

It is a wonderful location to start a family and be part of a quiet neighborhood and still not be out of the city limits.

I was beyond excited to try the Shark Rocket Complete Duo Clean vacuum. There is a reason it is called complete, it is great at crevice cleaning, edge cleaning, large particle pickup with no stuck on dust removal the Shark Rocket Complete with Duo Clean does it all. At a fraction of the weight and cost of other vacuums. My carpet and floors have never looked this clean with just using one cleaning system. I can never settle for another device now that I have tried this one.

It produces twice the power I have never owned a vacuum like this before, the double brushes simply amazing. The versatility has allowed me to cut my cleaning time in half hard to reach spots are no longer a problem with the LED lights which are a hit in my life. I can also save a little money with the washable filters. The swivel steering makes it easier to get underneath my counter and my living room furniture something I was unable to do with my old device. The maintenance after cleaning is very simple ad easily accessible without dumping dirt all over floor. I love it can convert into a handheld vacuum. Perfect for cleaning under the couch, cushions, stairs and underneath the seats of car and so much more.

Debris is easily removed from floors and carpets, removing small, large and stuck on particles. On carpet, the self cleaning soft velvet brush roll pulls in high piles and large particles, while the deep-cleaning bristle brush removes embedded fine dirt. On bare floors, direct engagement with a soft brush roll removes stuck on dust, fine dust, and large particles, which are accelerated into the high-velocity suction channel by the bristle brush.

I can go on and go about the benefits but you should check it out. It is a must have and can make a great gift for someone.
